Ok.. $58 or so..  :) I forgot to subtract the $21 for my current
tele-service!
But there are no other charges. A flat-rate of $40 (It's a bit less, but
with taxes, I'm sure it'll be a bit more.. so I'll say $40) for unlimited
use.
And I don't get cable-tv.. Just $40 (or there-abouts) a mnth for internet...
That's it.. That's all. nothing else.. nada.. zip... Only $40 (or
there-abouts)...  And I've no idea what you mean by "transit charges" or ISP
costs.. That $40 (or there-abouts) is IT, man.. :)
